Looks good bud. What %?  I did 20 on the front doors and 35 over the factory privacy with a strip of 5 on the windshield brow.

 

I never asked, I just asked them to match the rear!

Black tailgate lettering on cajun red lt trail boss. Emblems coming off next!

Definitely post up pics when you get the lettering off. I want to see what mine would look like the same way.

Installed Pace Edwards Switchblade retractable cover. Only took about an hour and it works/looks amazing!

Installed GM accessories swing away toolbox (it was free due to a dealer screw up)  It seems OK- a little flimsy when I loaded it up, considering it's supposed to hold 75 lbs.  I guess I have about 50lbs in it and the side bowed out a bit causing me to have to push it in to close the lid.  It is plastic after all.

 

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with it- I can get some gear out from under my rear seats and it removes easily in literally 5 seconds if I need more room.  Be aware you will need to secure 7 self tapping screws into your shiny new truck bed to install this.

Dipped my radio pod bezel to woodgrain. Gonna do the rest of the interior later next week.

I like the dipping, need to match the rest now though, you sure do have a lot of gauges going on there.

doing the rest of it next weekend. These are  display for my Future HD customers. LOL

Had a Magnaflow muffler installed today and the flapper valve is history.
 
The good:  No Drone at all...I really mean none.  It's almost stock quiet on the highway with just a hint of exhaust noise.  When you get on it though, the sound is fantastic!  Nice edge and you definitely know it's a good old V8.
 
The bad:  Dare I say it's actually quieter at idle?  It's definitely a softer sound.  Stock, the idle from outside the truck  was (I thought) really nice.  Now you really can't hear much at all.  My experience with Magnaflows is that they sound better with time- get a little louder/more character.  We will see.  Maybe a more aggressive muffler in the future for me if not...  
The shop said it was model #11289 but I can't confirm that anywhere.

What year is the truck?

Added Chevy vinyl graphic to hood as well as on the tailgate on my Trail Boss LT, plus added a stubby antenna from Craven Speed.

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
